Maybe there's some algorithm to rotate things that's not based on stars or plays to keep things fresh?

I know in the example games four new entries are in the top 5, and games with more plays/stars are lower.

I guess it's based on how long things have been in the top 5 and pushes older things down in favour of new?

There may be a caching thing with the images also, as I see the same thing on my footer - it's actually just over 2000 players, but my footer pic ( at least for me on my work or home machines ) says ~530.JohnnySix2012-08-16 00:08:51
